DEVICE FOR OPERATING WINDOW SASHES.

Application filed. February 12, 1925.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, JAMES J. HILL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ewing, in the county of Franklin and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Device for Operating Window Sashes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a device especially designed for use in raising or lowering window sashes, the primary object of the invention being to provide a device of this character which will not slip from its position when placed on a window sash, thereby eliminating any possibility of breaking the glass carried by the sash.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which may be readily and easily operated, and one which may be constructed at a comparatively low cost.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, withoutdeparting from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing:

Figure 1 is an elevational view illustrating the manner of using the device.

Figure 2 is an elevational view of the window stick forming a part of the invention.

Figure 3 is a front elevational view of the sash plate which is secured to a window sash.

Figure 4 is a side elevational view thereof.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 indicates an elongated plate forming a part of the invention, which plate is adapted to be secured to the upper sash of a window construction.

This plate 5 is provided with a plurality of openings 6 through which suitable secur- Serial No. 8,797.

ing screws may be passed to secure the plate to the sash.

Extending laterally from the plate and arranged in spaced relation with each other, are pins 7 provided with heads 8, which pins are adapted to be engaged by the head 9 of the window stick. The head 9 embodies a rod which is formed with an opening disposed intermediate its ends to accommodate one end of the rod 10, the opposite end of the rod 10 being supplied with a handle 11 whereby the device may be conveniently handled.

The head 9 is relatively long and is adapted to engage both of the pins 7 of the plate 5, when it is desired to move the window sash to its open or closed position.

In the use of the device, assuming that a window sash is to be raised, the device 'is positioned under the pins 7 in a manner as shown by Figure 1 of the drawing, whereupon a force directed upwardly to the window stick will cause the sash tobe raised.

Should it be desired to lower a sash supplied with a plate as described, the head 9 may be positionedto engage the upper edges of the pins 7 in amanner as shown by dotted lines in Figure 1 of the drawing, whereupon a downward pressure will cause the sash to be opened.

I claim A window operator including in combination, a plate, a pair of laterally extended pins formed on the plate, and arranged in spaced relation with each other, heads on the pins, a stick including an elongated head and a handle portion, said'head adapted to be moved into engagement with the pins at points behind the heads to move the plate and sash supporting the plate vertically, and said plate having openings to receive securing screws.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature.

JAMES J. HILL,
